I adore Barrett. Absolutely adore her. She's one of my performance idols. But. She. Needs. A. Good. Six. Moths. Of. Vocal. Rest. She has since she finished Heathers. Doing Heathers was a huge strain on her voice, and even in Mean Girls, it didn't quite have the same quality that her voice had when doing Heathers. She could play a perfect Elphaba. But that's only going to even be slightly plausible if she takes awhile to let her voice rest instead of straining it with another show. I really hope she does, she would really, really benefit from it, and I would LOVE to see her as Elphaba.
trust me! i have a few “inside sources” that say that her voice has become MUCH smoother and healthier since she took that two month medical leave. She is back to being amazing again 💗
I absolutely agree. Also, I love the months/moths typo, not making fun of you since I suck at typing more than anyone else on the planet, but it made me laugh. :)
I JUST RECENTLY STARTED WATCHING PARKS AND REC AGAIN AND NOW WHENEVER I SEE BARRETT ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS AUBREY PLAZA AND I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME.
I would LOVE to hear her sing Defying Gravity after she stops playing Janis and can rest her voice a bit. I think she sang absolutely wonderfully, but with a song like that, which she hasn't practiced much, she could sing it so much better with some vocal rest.
Devon Stuff If she needs vocal rest from Mean Girls then there’s no way she could do 8 shows a week as Alphaba... I do love her voice but shes wrecking her instrument with these roles she’s been taking!
Idk honestly. She does but you can't deny that her voice doesn't sound tired. I saw her in previews in March for Mean Girls and she was amazing. But just this summer, I've had multiple friends come back from New York saying that she sounded realllly beat up. This is not meant to be hate, I'm just stating my honest opinion!
I would love to see her as elphaba she has that awkward but strong college girl vibe that is perfect elphaba. I feel like if she had some vocal rest from mean girls defying gravity would have been even more perfect because lets face it Barrett needs to be Elphaba at some point
@@leahmarie5079 right! That's also why she would be a great elphaba because elphaba becomes a woman. In an recent interview with broadwaycom she said she after mean girls she wants to stop doing high school/ teenage roles.
Kristofer Wilson Yeah I saw that one, and it totally makes sense why she wants to stop playing teenagers (since you saw the interview you already know why) I can’t wait til she takes that step, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing, she deserves to be able to play more adult roles.
For everyone who is attacking Barrett for her performance of defying gravity: First of all, this song is going to sound weird with just a piano regardless of who's singing it, it was written to be accompanied with full orchestration. Second of all, Barrett is singing on Broadway 8 times a week which means: a- Her voice is not at its full capacity as it is constantly being pushed. Singing on Broadway 8 times a week takes a tall on your voice eventually no matter how good of a singer you are, it even did it to the OG Elphie herself, Indina Menzel. And B- She clearly doesn't have time to properly prepare for such a song, being currently on Broadway and everything. I am sure the song is in her rep book, but it doesn't mean that she has it polished and ready to go at all times. Defying gravity is one of the hardest songs on Broadway, and Elphabas usually take weeks to master it. All that being said and considered, she still did a good job at this, we should be glad she made time out of her schedule to film something like this for us her fans, not bash her for this. No one is 100% and anyone who has experience with performance can tell you that having "down" performances is simply inevitable. I love Barrett and I would love to see her as Elphie, once she's well rested and has had enough time to work more on this song.
Yes ma'AM/sIR!! YOU GO AND TELL THEM ALL! And as a performer, I completely agree. Voice cracks, dry voices, flatness, and just bad days are inevitable in Theatre, because we are constantly using our voice and projecting.
Sometimes singers have "bad" days. (Yes this wasn't her best performance but she didn't suck) That's life. But we've all seen the Heathers bootleg and know how amazing she is. Also I think she would be perfect for the role as the big Hollywood producers usually want somebody with a bigger following to star in a movie musical. She has a good sized fanbase so that's good for them but she's also a Broadway professional which would make us theatre lovers happy :)
Maybe if she gets with a vocal coach that knows what they’re doing and can help her strengthen her voice to those high notes bc yeesh... not good. She would lose her voice if she sang a score such as Elphabas, with her poor technique, 8 times a week. She has a good voice and a fantastic head voice, but her belting just sounds unhealthy and inconsistent and painful truthfully. I can’t imagine her throat doesn’t hurt after a night of Mean Girls bc she has some belty moments there too.
Y'all are judging her Defying Gravity like she's actually performing in Wicked lmao... Obviously if she was, it'd be better because she'd have time to practice the song and find the best way to safely hit those notes. She can hit the notes, we all know this. She'd be a great Elphaba.
Okay I was reading the comments before it got to defying gravity and I was expecting it to sound shaky and not great and she started singing and wow. I was very pleasantly surprised. She sounded awesome
people say defying gravity is not good, but this is what i say to them: 1. shes doing 8 shows a week, that affects your voice 2. its an incredibely hard song, but w more work, it could sound so amazing 3. ding dong ur opinion is wrong, shes sounds terrific, id like to see you do that
i think a lot of people don’t get that those notes in defying gravity are supposed to be screamed. screams of triumph and untapped emotion. barrett puts that wonderfully here.
WELCOME TO FALSETTO LANNddD czcams.com/video/sQUW0SmqqMs/video.html here’s a video of some of the most talented people that have sang this song. it really does sound like screeching at some points because that’s how you make it powerful
Barrett has a naturally loud belt that sometimes sounds like the singing version of shouting, basically if shouting sounded nice it would be barretts belt
I love Barrett a lot but I didn't like Defying Gravity. But its probably because she didn't have a lot of practice before hand. I still love her and think her voice is FABULOUS.
Amanda Heywood agreed. defying gravity takes so long to learn so she does need practice as does everyone who attempts to sing this song, but you are correct. i think she would be great as elphaba in the movie AFTER she is done with janis and is on vocal rest for longer than four months.
I think defying gravity seems a little off because she's singing very powerfully without the other instruments to back her up. Just my opinion but wanted to know if the piano is the reason everyones hearing it differently?
Imogen C I love her but defying gravity wasn’t fantastic, I think it might’ve been partially the mic/eq-ing. Like when she gets louder there’s almost no adjustment for it. Also the piano doesn’t get louder w her and is really quiet to begin with. Idk they all sound a lil wonky to me but I think it’s just the setup and the fact that you can barely hear the piano, idk much about that stuff though
People have to understand that being a broadway star means that not every performance will be its best. HECK I'm not even on broadway and I still know that not every single one of my high school and extra curricular performances are great. Barrett is playing a show that runs 8 times a week. She is constantly pushing her voice to the best of its ability...cut her some slack...
You can really hear how tired and strained her voice is and still managed to sing the climax of Defying Gravity, she's amazing , really one of the most remarkable Broadway talents of the last decade. I really love her.
As a young musical theater performer I’m so envious of her voice and her ability to insert a character into just a song. Also her range in style is just AHHH!! I aspire to be as talented as her one day
I am weak when Barrett sings “Unusual Way” she executed the song so gorgeously, and so differently from the other women who’ve played Claudia just,,,,,, *iconic*
SwiftsMorrison cause it’s not a crime to watch a video, this particular one is god awful, she has done some good things but she’s an incredibly inconsistent performer you never know what you’re going to get out of her
Barrett is so beautiful I love her so much, for some reason when ever I hear her high notes they b l o w m e a w a y, literally. And also I’ve always wanted to hug her for no reason I just love her so much ksksksk-
WAIT IVE BEEN SINGING UNUSUAL WAY WITH MY VOICE TEACHER AND THERE ARE ALMOST NO VIDEOS OF ANYONE SINGING IT AND THEN IM JUST WATCHING SOME OTHER BROADWAY STUFF BC I HAVE NO LIFE AND HERE BARRETT IS BEING BEAUTIFUL DOING THIS SOPRANO STAPLE SOME JUSTICE
That's why there are warnings in the playbill abt themes and content (loud noises, flashing lights). Legally, they always have to put those warnings. The main reason it won't go to Broadway is seating. There was always enough seating in the Off-Broadway stages for Heathers, so there was no need to bring it to Broadway. Just because the online fanbase was huge, doesn't mean that it was going to go to Broadway because the fact of the matter is that the online fanbase wouldn't have gone to see it on Broadway anyways for whatever reason. ^at least that's what my theatre professor told me. Shows go to Broadway for more seating demand.
She actually said after mean girls she’s done with teenage/highschool roles, so even if heathers does come to broadway I don’t think she’d take the role back
you can't deny her talent. but i loved hearing her head voice. it was absolutely stunning. i don't think defying gravity was her best performance but she still sounded so good. i love her.
Elle Ray she typically just uses full chest or belts in everything i’ve heard her in personally. maybe there’s been one recording she’s not done that on but on cast recordings i usually only hear strong full chest voice or belt
I love Barrett so much but she was clearly exhausted in this video but she still performed beautifully even being on broadway, performing 8 times a week, and nearly ruining her voice because of how much she used it, she’s amazing no matter what.
I'm not the only one who was sobbing by the time Barrett performed Defying Gravity, right...? God, I love her so much. She is amazing in every way possible.

I love Barrett! Saw her in Mean Girls & thought she was just fabulous! I would go see her in anything. Hope she gets the part of her dreams.
